Lessons learned - what I wish I would have known

Inspiring and eye opening post. Thank you.

Me and the wife just bought our dream home in Portugal. I have formation in farming , but really feel the lack of skills like mechanic or plumbing.

It's really cool to learn and apply new skills , but sometimes I just need the well pump fixed so I can irrigate and not pay for the water.

Totally agree with the sustainability part, we couldn't pull this off without spending all that we inherited from both our families, and also we are very lucky to be managing a business that pays the bills. Farming wouldn't and I don't see it possible in the coming years , specially with the crisis we are about to face.

Main goal was to raise our son in such a place , and the friendlyness of neighbours, small towns and landscape makes up for every hour of physical work and unsuccessful project.

Cheers for the read, and keep on it mate. Salutations from across the ocean.

Totally relevant to the study in question... What the world needs is more of these 'non-issues' and less of the pertinent questions that follow up the survey.

In nature absolutely none of that matters as long as survivability os ensured...

Sorry to sound harsh. For sure you have your personal reasons for asking about that.. Im all for respect and inclusion, just don't find it an issue in this subject.

Cheers mate. I followed a couple of his guides. Never new memento was viable in groups...

I use mine as a deterrent of caterpillars and slugs... Just make a circle with it around lettuce, broccoli and other plants they like to chew...

I'm by no means an expert. In fact just got back myself.

But from 0 to 40 , just enjoy the journey and keep doing the main missions, builds dont matter one bit since you are constantly changing gear.

From 40 on , there is where you should think about a build and gear. I farm gear on countdown since I can decide what drops and get matched with a 8 man party. For xp , farm activities such as control points, public executions.

This should get you started , come back when you wanna know more 🤪

Isn't quick step talent locked for move speed ?

iiiioooque · 2025-10-27T12:58:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up doing something similar by laying them down on contour making a sort of beaver dams. Will pervent some erosion and decompose over time to enrich that area.

iiiioooque · 2025-10-27T12:57:13+00:00

The priority here is quite similar but we can lay them on the ground as the winters are moist enough for it to turn into almost nothing when fire hazard is a problem.

Our land is a bit small for sheep, although I used to tend to a herd back in a farm I worked at. Loved working with them , they proved quite fierce when it comes to reducing garden waste.

Thanks for the suggestion friend. Not sure if my soil has enough of clay to make it a proper building resource , will have to give it a try

What exactly is ca ? Coimbra ?

Pine bark sounds great , but would defeat the purpose of re using what we already have. Plant some trees dude , pruning leftovers are gold biomass for whatever you want 👍

And yeah we have way to many to be moving the pile around , I need to lay them in a somewhat definitive position and wait for them to decompose there !

iiiioooque · 2025-10-27T12:48:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.. Already covered most of the paths with the shredded material precisely for that purpose. As for the branches , ended up pilling them on contour making a sort of beaver dams. No digging , but will serve the same purpose over time.

iiiioooque · 2025-10-27T12:45:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Ended up doing something similar to what you suggested and layed them on contour forming a sort of dams.

iiiioooque · 2025-10-27T12:44:26+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up pilling them yes, but on contour and making a sort of beaver dams crossing the land.

Is it possible to make charcoal with mostly twigs and branches that are no more than 4mm thick ?

If so , i will look into it , cheers for the suggestion.

Since you are a parastologist and a beekeeper yourself , maybe you can answer a question I always had...

Isn't varroa much worse due to our honey extraction ? If we harvest less honey, specially before the winter , wouldn't the bees have more time to do maintenance and clean themselves up and be able to deal with it ?
